Week 3
Day 1-2
Sleeping on my back makes me fart. This was something I discovered when I had a slipped disc in my lower back and several in my neck. I have always been a foetal sleeper. Ah, the curled up comfort of the womb position. However, the disc slips meant that attempting to sleep on my side lead to absolute numbness in my arms and the feeling that my legs were about to drop off/ I was going to wet myself. Not a pleasant experience. Having never slept on my back before I was NOT expecting the unfortunate side effect of passing wind uncontrollably. The type that WAKES YOU UP from your sleep. Uh huh. Hot stuff, right? Again, out came the trusty cough and I'd try to disguise said bed bottom burps from my husband with a coughing fit. Have you ever tried to make your coughs sound like farts? Try it sometime.
Anyway, the crux of the matter is that my neck and back are still not fixed but, cutting out gluten meant that the uncontrollable night time windy pops vanished. Hoorah! At the time I had no idea they were linked. Now, with the reintroduction of gluten the night time percussion has started once more. Totes devo.
A friend recommended these delightful little beauties. What do you think? Should they be standard NHS issue for coeliacs? I've heard of raising the heat in the bedroom department but maybe this is taking it a little too far...
